The Indianapolis Colts knocked off the Atlanta Falcons 31-25 early Sunday morning to capture their eighth win of the season, behind a stellar performance from running back Jonathan Taylor.

Indianapolis

The sixth-year back ran for 244 yards and three touchdowns, including the game-winner in overtime. He finished the contest with 284 scrimmage yards after tallying three receptions for 42 yards, and recorded his fourth game with 3+ total touchdowns this season.

Taylor also recorded the longest rush of the season - an 83-yard touchdown scamper - which broke Atlanta running back Bijan Robinson's record set earlier in the season.

Taylor was one of three Colts pass catchers to record 3+ receptions, joining tight end Tyler Warren (8) and wide receiver Alec Pierce (4). Warren led the team in receiving yards (99) and caught 80% of his 10 targets, which Pierce racked up the longest catch of the game and Indianapolis's only receiving touchdown on the same play.

Wide receiver Drake London recorded his fourth game with 100+ receiving yards in his last five outings. He tallied six receptions for 104 receiving yards - both team highs - and hauled in Atlanta's only receiving touchdown.

He also caught the game-tying two-point conversion that sent the game into overtime.

On the ground, Robinson and Tyler Allgeier propelled Atlanta's rushing game. Robinson led the team in carries (17) and rushing yards (84), while Allgeier racked up 11 carries for 57 yards and two rushing touchdowns.
